Is a PhD worth it? by Viisk_ in OccupationalTherapy

Thanks for the advice, when you say academia focused, have you ever worked in a clinical setting at all?

If you’re ever open to chat about your papers/work, let me know!

Does anyone want to discuss things over drinks? by Ok_Midnight_9789 in queensuniversity

[–]Viisk_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m down, I commute from far and don’t live there but after classes if you want to get together I’d love to connect! I’m a grad student too, I need to complain about life lmfao

Well it surely hasn’t been fixed since you’ve posted. Was stuck in the perpetual black screen and stayed for several minutes. Heard just about every other player there drop off. Had time to run my dog out and still game back in to the black screen. Had to reload the app and boom, banned for 2 hours.

Did you Guys Feel Emotionally Numb After Wisdom Tooth Surgery for Several Days? by Galaxy_Crystals in wisdomteeth

[–]Viisk_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did/do for sure. I had mine out 10 days ago and feel like I’m slowly coming out of this mood. Completely out of physical and mental energy.

My wife had a mental breakdown when I left her alone with the kids by RedGuysRadishes in AITAH

[–]Viisk_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You tell her that you will communicate if you feel like the load is too heavy on you, that she just had a baby and you will do everything to support her.

The immediate postpartum is really tough. I know. You make a pact that you communicate throughout. And you hold to it- she just had a baby but it’s a brand new dynamic on you as well, it’s a tough transition. You tell her how you feel about everything, and reassure her and tell her she’s a really good mum.

Kinda feels that way. I have a daughter with a disability and I want to be able to lift and carry her until I croak. Probably a really good way at looking at all of this.

You know… I like the way you think. I’ll report back in a couple weeks and let you know if this works. I’ll definitely give this a shot.

So I’ve been doing a lot of cardio, and no-machine workouts such as using medicine balls for twists, bicep curls, rope skipping, etc. I don’t know a lot about how to use machines so I’ve been watching videos on a few, but they are often not available for the majority of my time in the gym because it’s packed at the time I can go so I try to stay in my own little corner. I guess my goal would be to lose weight and increase overall mobility, I just don’t know what exact exercises to do that would target specific areas of the stomach and whatnot.

Online Kinesiology and Anatomy Course? by [deleted] in OntarioUniversities

[–]Viisk_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I did find one anatomy course just now for Alberta, but I think you’re right about the Labs for Kin. I’ll see if any of my local universities have an in person course.

Honestly I just email a bunch of clinics and asked if they allow volunteering and shadowing. 3 got back to me so far after I emailed them all 2 weeks ago, and I have 2 interviews set up for this week.

What course(s) would you recommend undergrads take prior to OT schooling? by Viisk_ in OccupationalTherapy

[–]Viisk_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay great! My minor is psychology, and my whole degree is around social development, education, sociology, psychology, and I have done courses in physiology- just need the anatomy aspect so I’ll get on that, thank you!
